The Steelers, donning their 1934 "bumblebee" throwbacks for the very first time, swarm QB Robert Griffin III like angry hornets, allowing the rookie phenom to gain just 8 yds rushing in 6 tries. Griffin is solid early, leading the Redskins on an impressive early TD drive, but RGIII ends up completing less than 50% of his passes, thanks in part to a slew of terrible drops by Washington receivers. In contrast, Big Ben is efficient and razor sharp throughout the rainy afternoon (24 of 33 for 222 yds, 3 TDs), leading the Steelers to scores on their first 4 possessions. Pittsburgh dominates time of possession and runs the ball at will, especially in the first half, with backup Jonathan Dwyer blasting his way to 107 yds on 17 carries.
